Re^4: Windows 7 UAC with elevated privileges

I don't think it should matter - it's actually closing the current (non-elevated) process and starting the same thing again from the shell with elevated privileges, so it's going to reload @INC the same way anyway.

Look again because that is what it currently isn't doing, @INC is not @ARGV

$ perl -Ishabba -e " use Data::Dump; use Devel::PL_origargv; dd( \@INC
+, \@ARGV , [ Devel::PL_origargv->get  ] )" -- ro sham bo
(
  [
    "D:\\PL_origargv_shoulndtuseinlinedirectly\\_Inline\\lib",
    "shabba",
    "C:/citrusperl/site/lib/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread",
    "C:/citrusperl/site/lib",
    "C:/citrusperl/vendor/lib",
    "C:/citrusperl/lib",
    ".",
  ],
  ["ro", "sham", "bo"],
  [
    "C:\\citrusperl\\bin\\perl.exe",
    "-Ishabba",
    "-e",
    " use Data::Dump; use Devel::PL_origargv; dd( \\\@INC, \\\@ARGV , 
+[ Devel::PL_origargv->get  ] )",
    "--",
    "ro",
    "sham",
    "bo",
  ],
)

Ah! I see what you mean. @ARGV isn't actually the OS-level arguments passed to the interpreter because there's some logic before that. Excellent - thank you! I'll put that into the next version. I figured that simplistic handling of the command line was probably going to be a problem, but I had no idea it was that weird...	[reply]

:) You might also want to warn (in the docs) to add the `use Win32::RunAsAdmin qw(force);` as soon as possible ... in case some other modules change cwd :) as PL_origargv doesn't track cwd :)	[reply] [d/l]

Hey - I just wanted to thank you again. If you hadn't forced me to understand what you were saying, I would have had no idea where to start looking when I used Win32::RunAsAdmin (without force) and Getopt::Euclid to determine based on a command-line flag whether to request elevated privileges or not.... and the command line disappeared (!) As it was, it was obvious what had happened. Anyway, v0.02 is up. Thanks.	[reply]
